You may remember from a little while ago that El33tonline was holding a competition to win a DS Lite with Brain Training. The competition ran for four weeks as entrants guessed the identity of a host of Nintendo characters.

Well, the winner of the prize, as revealed, is none other than Dumidu Surasinghe!

To the right, you can have a gander at Dumidu’s visage, looking all glamorous, while clutching his newfound electronic toys. What an awesomely stylish hat!

Congratulations and enjoy!

Last chance to enter El33tonline’s DS Lite competition! What do you need to do for a chance to win? A mystery Nintendo character awaits identification below!

There are two prizes up for grabs. First prize in the competition is a DS Lite with a copy of Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training! Runner-up prize is a copy of Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training, designed to improve both your mental awareness and your memory! It definitely gives your brain a workout!

All you need to do to enter the competition is go to El33tonline’s DS Lite competition page and decide which of the three character names listed belongs to the secret, scrambled character image to the left. Once you’ve decided (or guessed), mail us the name and you’ll be entered into the competition. How easy is that?

This is El33tonline’s last character revelation because the competition ends this week on the 26th of September! If you haven’t entered yet, click on over to El33tonline’s DS Lite competition page for a chance to win these excellent prizes, sponsored by Core Gaming!

The Brain Training phenomenon has swept the world and continues to keep players’ brains active today! Developed in collaboration with Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, a Japanese Neuroscientist, Nintendo have created the ultimate brain exercise game, Brain Training. Using Dr. Kawashima’s books and theories as the basis, Brain Training is split into mini-games that put your brain’s abilities to the test.

While Brain Training is fun and addictive on its own, a little competition never hurt anyone, so now you have the opportunity to pit your brain’s abilities against the rest of South Africa with Brain Training in three separate challenges!

How do you win? That’s easy. Visit the “What’s Your Brain Age?” website to find out where to be and what time to be there (click ‘The Challenge’ at the bottom of the page), where you’ll be able to enter the challenge and submit your best score. If your score is good enough, it’ll be entered into the website’s Leaderboards for all to see, as well as putting you in line to win R2000 worth of Nintendo DS software!

Another challenge, if you’re up to the task, is to submit your own video relating to the Brain Age Challenge (maybe some ‘mental pushups’?) and uploading it to YouTube. Once uploaded, submit the URL, as well as your name and contact information, to upload@whatsyourbrainage.co.za. The funniest video, chosen by a judging panel, will win the video’s creator a Nintendo DS Lite! Go check out some of the already submitted videos to see your competition for this prize.

The last challenge is to compare your brain’s abilities to those of your colleagues in the Corporate Challenge! Are you smarter than your boss? Head over to the Brain Training website to find out!

Now go have fun training your brain, with Brain Training!

In addition to the amazing Nintendo Wii and Wii Fit bundle, El33tonline is also giving away a Nintendo DS Lite with Brain Training.

First prize is a Nintendo DS Lite with the chart topping Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training. Runner-up prize is Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training, designed to improve your memory and your mental awareness.

If you are a true Nintendo fan, entering this competition will be easy. Each week for four weeks a different Nintendo character will appear on El33tonline. If you correctly identify one character you will earn yourself an entry into the competition, but for each additional identification you will earn an extra entry.

In true Brain Training style we have added a slight twist to the competition and pixilated each Nintendo character. Any idea who this famous Nintendo character is? Head over to our Nintendo DS Lite competition page to enter today!

Once again thanks to Core Gaming for sponsoring these amazing prizes.

We are reporting live from the Nintendo DS Lite launch in Johannesburg. Following the success of the Wii launch in September last year, Core Group has pulled out all the stops to put together a great launch event for the DS.

First things first…the Nintendo DS Lite will be available in all major retail outlets for a retail price of R1 799 from 1 February. The question on everyone’s minds has been what launch titles will hit the streets, and today we can confirm that New Super Mario Bros. (R449), Nintendogs (R449), Dr Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old is your Brain (R349) and Mario Kart DS (R449) will be available from 1 February.

The DS Lite will be available in four colours: white, black, silver and pink.

Also launching in South Africa today is the big slugger titles for the Wii including the legendary Super Mario Galaxy (R499) and Mario Party 8 (R499).

More to follow later regarding how well the Wii has been received in South Africa and more coverage of the event.

Update:The DS Lite will be in stores from 1 March and not 1 February as stated.
